The 2 drivers were told "Sorry", but you didn't get your entries in in time so we cant except you for todays meeeting! Half the meeting ran with rubish grids (not the Ford ones)and here were 2 people willintg to bump up those grids and pay loads of money for the pleasure. Yes, they were wrong in not getting their entries off in time-but the BRSCC just turned down possibly £500 for what?...and you wonder why the BRSCC are in trouble!!!!
I know what you are saying Snapper but in this instance the Club were perfectly correct in refusing the entries. Rule B.10.3 of the Blue Book relating to Closing of Entries states:

"The date specified in the SRs for the closing of entries shall, in the case of International Events, not be less than seven days before the date of the event. For all other events, it shall not be less than three days before the date of the event. Exceptionally, for Clubsport events, Clubman Rallies, Trials, Autotests or Off-Road Events, the SRs may permit entries to be accepted up to one hour before the competition starts"
